Is there a way to access the context variable when using serverless-http and netlify-lambda

I am making a api with netlify functions, i am using serverless-http and netlify-lambda to build it with express. How can I access the context var in api request?

Are you talking about netlify-lambda npm package? If yes, you need to stop using it as it’s not required anymore.

About your question, this should work (in TypeScript):

import type {HandlerContext, HandlerEvent} from '@netlify/functions'
import type {Request, Response} from 'express'
import express from 'express'
export async function handler(event : Event, context: Context) {
  const app = express()
  return serverless(app)(event, context)
}

Thank you for informing me about netlify-lambda and context
